Giant Panda @ Ocean Park, Hong Kong

I might be too lazy to blog and post pictures about all my misadventures in ShenZhen and Hong Kong 8D;; So I’ll be posting a blurry panda picture now and I think the adorable-ness of them big, clumsy, utterly UTTERLY CUTE animal will be sufficient for now \8D/ I R GENIUS

 
By the way, guess where was my first stop as soon as I left the airport last evening at 7p.m.?

Summit @ Subang Jaya for the THX cinematic glory 8DDDD ( thank you people so much for putting up with my selfishness and fangirly-ness 8D Though I’m sure you all wanted to rewatch The Dark Knight ANYWAY XDD )

BATMANNNNNNNNN <3 <3 <33 And The Joker was completely AWESOMELY FREAKY. ( Oh Heath Ledger T__T ) I'm SO going to watch this again. On iMax 8D Most definitely. And now for all the other movies I missed in the silver screen the two weeks I was away D: And not to mention rewatching The Dark Knight for as much as I cannnnn

 

 

In Hong Kong. Leaving Hong Kong on Monday, July 28th, 2008

Will be leaving the hostel in less than half an hour to wait for the bus to the Airport D:

I seldom take buses even in my home country D: Wish me luck. Hong Kong’s HOT HOT HOT like nobody’s business. WTF. Even a short walk in the street in the evening after showering made me dashed back to the hostel to bathe all over again T__T Imagine an afternoon in Ocean Park yesterday. Sweating profusely, that’s the word T__T I’m sure I got a tan again and I really didn’t want it ORZ

But Giant Pandas are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KYUUUUUUTEEEEEEEEEEE I wanna roll around with them eeeeeeeee <3

 

 

Hong Kong. Once more. on Friday, July 25th, 2008

It was only about two months since my trip to Hong Kong for this and I will be setting foot there again tomorrow from Shen Zhen O_o;

Quite and unexpected turn of events. And I’ll be roaming the bustling city on my own the whole day on Saturday 8DD;; Wish me luck! And hope I’ll be able to order food properly XDDD *can’t read Chinese menu ORZ*

Meeting up with my friend Mizuki on Sunday and flight back to Malaysia on Monday afternoon :D So, see ya next week!

 
Frankly speaking, I’ll miss my colleagues here in Shen Zhen an awful lot ;___; They’re such lovely people XD

 

 

Habits are hard to break on Monday, July 21st, 2008

You may or may not know but when I was working for my ex-company the design department works on a hell lot of Pepsi’s POSM collaterals such as posters, shelftalkers, buntings, signages etc . I personally was working on a number of soft drinks related labels I swore I will avoid drinking them at any cost. Especially on my last month or so there, I was working 90% of the time on Pepsi related items. It was so bad to the point that I was sure I know what is their official logo colour codes in PANTONE in my sleep.

True story : When I started playing Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core, one of the first few things that made me spazzed out was that it uses the very same font as Pepsi ads does XDD ( Yanno, the “Activating Combat Mode” , “Mission Accomplished” and all that jazz? It’s in Serpentine, baby XD )

Anyhow, that was why when I was out in ShenZhen yesterday the first thing that struck me when I saw a local Pepsi billboard was :

“Mann… how can this goes out in the public? Client’ll have our heads for the COLOUR of their drinks O_O;”

Pepsi billboard @ Dong Men, ShenZhen
Maybe the local Pepsi here has a red tea flavour? 8D;;

Some thing seems to be embedded straight into my brain already thanks to the crazy working life ORZ And I can’t get rid of it no matter how bad I want to T__T I don’t memorise their Pantone colour code in my sleep already that’s for sure XD;;;

 

 

Sunday @ ShenZhen City on Sunday, July 20th, 2008

Just got back from the city.

Now back into the nothingness of the industrial area T___T Tiring semi weekend but it was so amazing! I had to thank my dear colleague C and her boyfriend. Food was absolutely wonderful ( I keep saying this about the food here XD – Had buffet dinner at a hotel on Saturday night and then an awesome Chinese local delicacies and roasted meat galore for dinner 8DDDD;;; ) I was brought to this street called “East Gate/ Dong Men(?)” which is like a mix of Petaling Street and Sungei Wang back in Malaysia.

SO MANY PEOPLE O__O;; SO DAMNED HOT. Was warned over and over again about pickpockets. Am amazed how high the sellers jacks up the prices of their goods O_O I was asking for a bag and was quoted RMB280; as my colleague dragged me off the price went down to RMB130 |||ORZ

Oh! Tested first hand that China’s shopping malls’ air conditioning sucks massively. I missed the ‘freeze-your-ass-off’ Malaysian malls for a moment there ..

BUT!! So many sights and cheap stuff ( clothes, shoes, shades, bags, DVDs, games, fake branded goods ET CETERA XDDD ) to look out for! Is broke now. Plz to be sending money T___T

 
PS : I spent the best RMB15 ever on a hair saloon right across the road in front of Shen Zhen’s amusement park – Happy Valley’s entrance. One whole hour of pampering your hair and massage and a simple facial wash. 気持ち良いいい ~~~ Doesn’t help that the saloon people thinks I’m a student. Fueled my already high Peter Pan complex to no end オホホホホホ〜〜
